Speaklng ;of Sports § wmmomm That Tom Humphries, popular guard on the All-New Britain foot- ball team is a fortunate person, can "E TXRR XS be attested to by Ed Dailey who| made a trip to the Greenwich hos- pital to see him. Tom was electro- cuted last week while at work as an automatic signal repairman for the “New Haven” road. burned and the arm He will His entire face was his right side including and leg was badly seared. recover though it is likely that he | Wwill be scarred for life. Humphries was working on a pole when the accident occurred. The day was wet and although he received 11,000 volts, he can offer no reason why he got the shock. Ha was awaiting orders-s to what changes to make in the signal wires o1 which the gang was working, when he was struck with the high voltage. He had hold of no wires but is inclined to believe that the damp- ness of his clothes attracted the ricity. His entire right side was partial-| ly paralyzed but at that, he didn't ose consciousness and with the help another workman, he got to the ground where he collapsed. He was rushed to the Greenwich hospital and although he is in a omfortable state at the present ime, it will be a long time until he will be able to resume his work. He will have no permanent disabil- from the accident, the officials at the hospital think. The National Guards start out to- night to play the first of two of the toughest games of the year. T Atlas of New Haven is on the pro- gram for tonight and the game will o staged in the Elm City. Tomor- row night, the team mects the St. Joseph T. A. B. team of Waterbury 1t the state armory in this city. A large number of local fans are planning to take in the Atlas game tonight. The New Haven team has always been one of New Brtain's most bitter rivals and after beating the locals t year, confidence reigns supreme in the Elm City over the outcome of the game, Many local fans have been won- dering why it is that the Guarc the state armory floor, f ampionship form, but in most cases on the road, the tcam has bLeen a flop. on In Plainfield, ten though the Guards were the Plainfield team peared to be no match at all for he locals on the local floor. In leriden the Guards were outrough- d 19 to 17 but they beat Meriden at the state 'mo-y here. The Brooklyn A. C. team of Waterbury scemed like a poor opponent for the ards in the game in this ci and then the quintet hands the G ds a particularly nice lacing in Water- bury. The Bristol Endees are the only ones to have lost to the Guards on thelr home floor Last Sunday's showing is attribu- ted to the fact that “the Guards were $ired after running so long in the Plainfleld game the night be- fore. | We have always considered it just ;me way the game goes when the | Guards lose to outsiders on foreign yfloors. A team can't win them all and surely the Guards have won their share of games so far this sea- son. In fact, it has been a number of years since a team has received ‘!he whole-hearted support that the!; Guards are receiving this season from the home town crowd. It is reported from Meriden that! the Endees believe that something| was pulled over on them here Wed- | nesday night when Clyde Waters in- | stead of Dick Dillon refereed. | There is only one answer to that| | statement and it is that the Meriden team should feel that a favor ha(l been confrred on them because with Dick Dillon blowing the whistle, |'several of the Meriden players| would have received their walking papers. Clyde Waters missed a number of | fouls on both sides during the game | and allowed it to get pretty rough. | Dillon would have it went very far, favor of the Guards been twice as much.
